The axed Climate Commission is to be relaunched with private funds in a bid to keep information about global warming prominent in the public arena, former head Tim Flannery said.

The decision to create the Australian Climate Council, as the group will be known, was spurred by "a groundswell of support" from across the country, Dr Flannery said.

 

siggie how can you call it a dud if people are prepared to put their own money into it. Obviously they strongly feel otherwise.

 

so it's no longer tax payer funded, so what's the problem then??

 

 

 

   Goodness Tim....you do make people laugh!!!

not a nerve, i don't have any. but i do have a bleep meter. the NewsLtd view you express regarding flannery is as reliable as the rest of their journalism. he's done something useful, they haven't.  people with nothing to offer best not be too critical as someone will notice.

I am more than happy to allow ALL Alarmists, the opportunity to provide entertainment  and laughs .........so, carry on.....

 

  

I tried to donate but the site has crashed, so I'll have to try again later.

Thousands have donated and I'm sure there'll be many thousands more, following the press conference.

I think it's the best news of the day. I hate how the right wingers try to dumb down the population by hiding information and spreading their negative propaganda. Some of us choose not to be like their avid followers.

 in flannerys case they play the man not the ball because they have nothing to rebutt the facts with. its a typical murduck tactic.

It's disgraceful the way those right wingers disrespect an Australian of the year, but I don't expect much more from them or their challenged followers.
